2021 has so far been a remarkable year for women leadership. In March, the world followed the inauguration of President Samia Suluhu Hassan as the first female president of Tanzania. Closer home, women can draw inspiration from President Sahle-Work Zewde of Ethiopia. In Tanzania, President Suluhu is already gaining admiration in the region for her stance on democracy and human rights. Otherwise, it may be several years before we ever have our own Samia Suluhu, Kamala Harris, Sahle-Work Zewde, Joyce Banda, Indira Gandhi, Benazir Bhutto, Jacinda Ardern, Angela Merkel, Margaret Thatcher or Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
